Discrete implementations of current sense amplifiers are commonly used for low side current sensing applications. Low-side current sensing is when the voltage is measured across a sense resistor that is...

This application note gives an overview of different control mechanisms for MEMS Coriolis Vibratory Gyroscopes (CVG) and how they are implemented using the commercial off-the-shelf HF2LI Lock-in Amplifier. A MEMS...

In a wireless base-station (BS), when the output power of an RF power amplifier (PA) exceeds predefined limits, the antenna and other sensitive electronic components can be permanently damaged. This...

With class-D amplifiers, short-circuit faults in the output H-bridge result in dangerous current paths. This type of fault occurs when either the positive or negative outputs (OUTP or OUTN, respectively)...

This document is an introduction to linearizing a microwave transmission-system PA using Maxim's SC1894 RF PA Linearizer (RFPAL) from 4GHz to 80GHz. It includes basic system design considerations to implement...

This document provides guidelines for designing a power amplifier to achieve optimum performance with Maxim's radio frequency (RF) power amplifier (PA) linearizer (RFPAL) or other types of predistortion. Using RFPAL...
